Internet Access Options in Fern Forest

[dehenky]

Thanks Melissa! What kind of data rates do you get with AT&T? Satellite for interactive data isn't the greatest, regardless of the quoted data rate, due to the latency introduced by the satellite hops. It may be much faster on a packet by packet basis, but it still ends up "feeling" like a modem. It's especially bad if you're using a VPN or SSL connection.

Dial up, satellite or cell phone. Those are your options. A booster will help, not the cheap ones, but the $300 -$400 ones. We have a Wilson. There are other posts about this that go over all the options for the area. Satellite is expensive to install and still have high monthly fees and limited monthly usage. I prefer cell phone and use AT&T.
